The Borough Assembly condemned any legislation âwhich would restrict voter accessâ on Thursday and also introduced a proposal to adopt ranked choice voting in Fairbanks North Star Borough elections. The resolution on voter access passed in a 5-4 vote with supporters saying that rules such as requiring voters to provide identification amounts to voter suppression. Opponents called the resolution partisan and inflammatory and said that providing identification is a routine and uncontroversial part of life. The resolution stemmed from a bill in the Alaska Senate aimed at tightening some rules around elections â mainly with the handling of ballots. Mention of the bill was removed from the final version of the resolution, which drew sharp debate.
